In a Three-Quarter Ranch, a hen & three quarters lay an egg and three quarters in a day and three quarters. How many eggs do seven ducks lay in week?

In both parts, one egg is laid per hen in the respective time listed. Since "a week and a half" is 7 times "a day and a half" and "a week" is 4 times "a day and three quarters", the answer to the first part is 7*7=49. and the answer to the second part is 7*4=28. (assuming we are concerned with seven hens in the second part)
